If you can make due with fairly low-level access to the screen, then I 
might suggest checking out the Derelict2 bindings and consider SDL or 
OpenGL.  Now, these are probably much harder to use than System.Drawing: 
you'll have to implement a lot of the primitives from lower things. 
OpenGL perhaps even moreso, since you'd have to learn its model before 
you even get very many pixels onto the screen.  This would be more of a 
thing for game devs than for apps devs, since in game dev you'll be 
spending so much time on game-specific stuff that writing a few graphics 
primitives becomes a drop in the bucket at times.  I figure you're 
probably going to want something that gets you going faster.  Hmmmm, 
there's probably a better way, but I thought I'd mention this incase 
it's of any worth.

It makes me wonder what's happening with all of the old team0xf code 
written in D1.  IIRC there was a lot of it, and it went places.
